Set data with minute minute seconds and milliseconds

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello my name is Ricardo, and I'm doing measurements it with an inertial sensor. I'm working with a frequency of 10 Hz so every second I have 10 measurements, when I export data to excel the time just appears in this format: HH: mm: ss but it doesn't appear to me in milliseconds. I can't find the format with milliseconds. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it very much.

You are doing it wrong...

 

An Excel time is NOT text you need to save it as a floating point number, then you can use Format Columns function in Excel to show the time with milliseconds.

Since you are saving it as text file,  you need to use the a better number to string conversion.  Don't use that particular Date Time function.  Use Format into String with a format of %<%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S%3u>T

 

If you expand it further and add %.2f, you can put all those values together in one shot.
